Application filed February 5, 1906. Serial No. 299,436-

-.l'0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP. E. PERRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lexington, in the county of Sufi'olk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new form a part thereof.

My invention relates to holders for jars and other like articles, and more particularly to a class of removable holders adapted to support a jar or other like article from the hp 1 5 thereof.

The main object-of the invention is to providea holder for jars or other like articles which may be quickly applied thereto by being sprung to place and when so applie will be maintained or locked in-place through the weight of the jar.

A further object is to provide a holder of this description wherein the jaws and the bail therefor will be so constructed as to ers of such separation or disarrangement 0 these arts as would permit the jar to drop there om.

A further object of the invention is to provide a holder of this description whereby the 0 tendency to .collect disease germs or other impurities will be reduced to a minimum; and a-still further object is to provide a holder of this description which-may bemade at a low cost of production and, if desired, by auto- 3 5 matic machinery, while being simple in construction, and which will be strong and serviceable.

The invention consists, primarily in a holder for jars or other like articles compriso ing a bail having pendent arms, a bowed jaw carried by said arms, and a second bowed jaw disposed oppositely said first-mentioned jaw permanently connected" to one of sad pendent arms and slidably mounted on the 5 other said arm whereby said jaws open vertically, and in such other novel features-of construction and combination of parts as are hereinafter set forth and described, and more particularly-pointed out in the claims hereto 5o ap ended.

eferring to the drawings, F ure 1 isa side elevation of the holder attac ed to a ar.

2 is a front elevation thereof, also attached to a jar; and Fig. 3 is a perspective 5 5 yiew of the holder with the handle-grip partly 1n section.

Like letters refer to like parts throughout the several views.

This invention is illustrated in the drawings and is particularly designed for use in connection with milk and similar jars, which at present are largely made with a protruding li about the neck thereof and a closure force into said neck and engaging a channel therein. This construction n'provides no means for securin a firm hold on the jar, and in carrying or delivering same considerable inconvenience is encountered and there is a material accidental breakage. While in jars having a swinging cap closure this inconvenience is somewhat modified, there is nevertheless always inconvenience and likelihood of breakage when the jar is grasped about the neck. My invention is designed to obviate this inconvenience and by providing reliable and convenient means for carrying same to minimize such loss through accident in handling' the jars. I

In the embodiment of my invention illustrated in the drawings the bail com rises a cross-heada, having pendent arms a supporting the jaws, adapted to engage the neck of a bottle orjar A and its lip B. (1 indicates a cylindrical handle-grip having a longitudinal bore therethrough by means of which it is mounted on the crossthereon, an arrangement common to various types of holders and not essential to this invention.

Op ositely-dis osed outwardly curvedor bowed jaws e an a jar, or other like artic e A under itslip B, are carried by the arms 6 and 0, respectively, said jaws being adapted to 0 en vertically to facilitate the attachment and the removal of the holder by reason of the fact that in ractice one of these jaws is supported by 0th said arms, while the other has one end su ported while the other end is free to sli e along the other arm. The material of the bail a and the said j aws e and f, as well as the pendent arms I) and 0, should have a slight spring thereto, these parts preferably being made from av continuous strand of wire so bent as to leave a substantially straight cenada ted to fit the neck of mi'siedfib gg eans "of'fthe handle its Weight on the jaws forees the hooked o'r' looped l foroedbver said lip by the showzyin the" eeeompenying drewings, as
